Conservatives: you explain why Michelle Bachmann took 250K in farm subsidies when she is "against" socialism?
Why is she accepting government handouts when she's so against them?
I noticed all the Republican arguments to explain her behavior are extremely weak.
last time I looked, a 1/4 million dollar farm subsidy is socialism.

Number one she has no idea what socialism is and number two is that she is off her rocker, a few fries short of a happy meal, only has one oar in the water, is not hitting on all cylinders, has a screw loose, was brutally attacked by a brain sucker!

300 million to La. 100 million to Dodd. 100 million to Ne. Pelosi took 54 million to "move" a train to serve the Napa Valley here. It just is a coincidence that her vineyard and hotel are there. At least Bachman is looking out for the farmers there.

Pointing fingers without the whole truth. Typical?

Farming literally is dependent upon the weather and is a very risky endeavor. Food is a requirement of life.
